00:00The old pub crawl from Hillsborough all the way into town is null and void now, it just doesn't exist.

00:08The whole of Hillsborough, you know, all the way along the road was slided into pubs.

00:14And town as well, you know.

00:16Like Division Street's still got some decent pubs.

00:19I know the landlord of the f***ing Barravale house.

00:22Landlord at Fulham.

00:25My life, because of that, money.

00:29It's Wetherspoons left and centre, isn't it?

00:32There's so many of the damn things.

00:35I like to come and have something to eat here because it's cheap and cheerful.

00:40But it's not the best in the world.

00:42If you can't afford to run a landlord's inkpot, I mean, I used to run a shop.

00:50But there's no atmosphere in any of the pubs.

00:53Just meals.

00:55There's no darts, no jukebox.

00:58There's no paint cards.

01:02There's just no atmosphere in any of the pubs at all.

01:05The way I used to go, I used to drink a lot when I was younger.

01:09You know, at the town.

01:11I loved Parson's Cross.

01:13But they were pubs.

01:15We were a pub.

01:17And there were a lot of life there.

01:19I should say this stays the same.

01:21I go out for meals, but not just for a drink.

01:24I meet friends.

01:26That's why.
